Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Yep, it really is coming along pretty fast. What is really helping is that Don bought just about every piece we need and had it sitting there ready to go on. Sure makes it nice when you don't have to guess and actually have the part there to mock up with.

Fiberglass is my life!!! At least it seems that way. I don't even itch anymore, so I must be getting immune to the stuff. I think I am destined to have dry, cracked hands from all the laquer thinner.

Today Dan came over and cut the holes for Don's gauges. I'm glad he did it because they actually came out straight. Must be nice to have good eyesight. Then he dug in and helped me work on my T body. We DA'ed it again and filled all the little pinholes and voids with spot putty, then Da'ed it one more time, then shot two more coats of primer on it. It looks like we are finally there, and just found maybe two or three little pinholes that still need filled before paint can go on.

I am back to thinking that I might drop off my body at the body shop when I take Don's on Monday. It is coming out so nice it would be a shame to shoot it outside and screw it up. Brent can throw it in his booth and bake it when he is done. I'll talk to him Monday when I am there and see if he wants to do two of them.

Here are some pictures of Don's gauges just stuck in the holes for now, and also my body after we shot the primer tonight. Really owe Dan a big thanks, he busted his tail today to make the body as straight as it came out. Much better than I would have done alone, that's for sure.
